  1. Hi, guys.
  2. My name is Randomizer.
  3. And this is my multimodal memoir.
  4. Eso Starting in elementary school, I was always really into
  5. animals. Anything related to animals?
  6. Um, fiction or nonfiction.
  7. So these were some books that I read while in
  8. elementary school?
  9. Um, I basically if it was about animals, I read
  10. it in our school library or a bought books about
  11. it. Public library.
  12. It was about an animal.
  13. I read it, Um, so much so that even after
  14. my mom would talk me in at night, I would
  15. have a book and a flashlight stash under my pillow,
  16. and I would spend half an hour hour three hours
  17. after my mom took me in Just reading about the
  18. different animals and just learning and absorbing all the information
  19. that I could, um, in the bottom right hand corner
  20. is actually a binder that I have.
  21. It's a collector.
  22. It's a collectible.
  23. On Been in that binder.
  24. There's actually probably a good 300 pages of just these
  25. foldable papers with like, there's an animal on the front.
  26. And then on the inside of the foldable is just
  27. a bunch of information like where they're from, what their
  28. habitat is there genus species all the way?
  29. Uh, basically everything that we know about that animal is
  30. in that form and that foldable.
  31. Um, so I actually still have that the and these
  32. a lot of these books were actually really important to
  33. me growing up eso some TV shows that I was
  34. into sticking obviously with the animal theme.
  35. Um, I watched a lot of Animal Planet and some
  36. of my favorite shows on there, where the Crocodile Hunter
  37. Meerkat Manor an untamed and uncut, all talking about real
  38. life animals showing real life stories showing real life, animal
  39. involvement, stuff like that.
  40. Um, I also watched a lot of boomerang.
  41. Obviously being a kid, eso I watched a lot of
  42. Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Scooby Doo, things
  43. like that.
  44. Um And then later on in my own tree school
  45. years, I started getting really into Disney.
  46. Um, I think I hit my Disney phase a little
  47. later than most actually.
  48. But I I loved the show hit in Montana.
  49. So some movies that I was into also kind of
  50. following the animal theme.
  51. Uh, we're Charlotte's Web, and then my two favorite Disney
  52. movies very elementary school were always the line came the
  53. Lion King to those were my absolute favorite.
  54. They're still very high on my list of Disney movies.
  55. Um, but then, as I was getting order in elementary
  56. school, I started watching things like High school Musical really
  57. loving also that side of Disney as well.
  58. Eso then into middle school, I actually switched from animals
  59. to a little more like real life medical type stuff.
  60. Um, but that's not really reflected in my books that
  61. I read in middle school.
  62. Um, but some of the books that I was really
  63. into were really outdoorsy about, like survival, things like that.
  64. Eso I read hatchet the call of the wild and
  65. wildlife all very much so about adventure and living in
  66. the wild and exploring the wilderness.
  67. Um, Wonder is about a little boy with facial deformities
  68. and how he had, like, survive school and get through
  69. school and make friends things like that.
  70. It was really interesting.
  71. Um, and I was really into a child.
  72. Called it in the lost boy about, um, this boy
  73. that was abused by his parents.
  74. Those were super interesting as well.
  75. Definitely classics.
  76. I feel like everybody should read, Um, some TV shows
  77. that I was really into.
  78. Like I said, I started getting really into the medical
  79. side of things.
  80. So I started watching house and bones a lot house,
  81. obviously being about just a team of doctors and solving
  82. are figuring out what's wrong with people on fixing them,
  83. curing them, losing them everything that goes on in the
  84. hospital and then bones, using a lot of science and,
  85. like the anatomy of the human body in the bone
  86. structure toe solve murder cases and find identities of people
  87. who have been murdered, things like that open heart took
  88. place in hospital, and it was a lot of hospital
  89. related stuff that was actually about like finding this girl's
  90. dad who had gone missing.
  91. Um, and then just being a middle schooler, I watched
  92. a lot of shows like, So I went on one
  93. and drinking Josh, that allowed me to laugh and have
  94. fun. Just relax.
  95. Um, some movies that I was into coming kind of
  96. back to the animal theme would be Flicka, but also
  97. being a preteen early teenager.
  98. I fell in love with Channing Tatum, so I watched
  99. a lot of his movies like she's the man and
  100. step up.
  101. Um, Like I said, I hit my Disney phase later
  102. than most people normally dio.
  103. So those were actually all the VHS is that we
  104. own. We actually own more than that.
  105. I just couldn't get them all in the picture.
  106. Um, and I would I still watch those to this
  107. day, but I watched ah lot of them quite frequently
  108. in middle school, right?
  109. Eso then moving on to high school.
  110. Um, my true romantic side came out a little bit.
  111. Eso I read stuff like this election and the perfect
  112. chemistry Siris both both very romance.
  113. E um also fell in love with sports, specifically football
  114. in high school.
  115. So I read the Siri's called.
  116. It's called the Field Party Siri's.
  117. It's all about like football in love and surviving school
  118. and things like that.
  119. Um, but during high school is also when I decided
  120. I wanted to be a nurse, Um, so I used
  121. my past of loving medical shows and the human body
  122. and things like that to make that decision, Um, I
  123. in my junior and senior year, I decided to take
  124. college credit plus classes.
  125. So my junior year, um, took a lot of pre
  126. RECs like comp one and two.
  127. Like a history class I took, but also took, uh,
  128. general biology one my junior year in general chemistry one
  129. my senior year so I could get that science into
  130. me starting early for my nursing classes.
  131. Um, Then I also got this anatomy coloring book so
  132. I could start identifying parts of the human body, which
  133. would definitely help me further in my nursing classes.
  134. Yes. Um, some TV shows that I was into I
  135. really like the Big Bang theory, not only because it
  136. was funny, but it also kind of piqued my interest
  137. with just, like, a little bit of science that's thrown
  138. in here and there.
  139. Um, the resident is a super high adrenaline, um, doctor
  140. show it takes place in hospital shows a lot of
  141. things that goes on in a hospital.
  142. Good and bad.
  143. Eso I really liked that for the health care aspect.
  144. Like I said, I fell in love football.
  145. So I watched a lot of Friday night lights during
  146. high school, which it was an older show.
  147. But during my high school years.
  148. This is when I watched it, and then I just
  149. watched friends.
  150. I watched it almost every night because it was on
  151. late night TV on and I would watch it before
  152. I went to bed.
  153. Um, so movies.
  154. I watched, Um, The spot who dumped me is like
  155. a funny romantic comedy action movie, Um, and then avatar
  156. the Martian in the Marvel movies.
  157. I'll really I love the Marvel movies.
  158. They're probably my favorite movies ever.
  159. Um, just But like all three of those are just
  160. so like high tech, um, science advanced.
  161. Kind of like fantasy type things that, like, can I
  162. expanded my mind in science.
  163. Um, and then I still love Disney movies.
  164. So I put my water on there because I really
  165. liked that movie on dhe.
  166. Then my true romantic side.
  167. I watched a lot of the Nicholas Sparks movies during
  168. high school eso in the summer between high school and
  169. college. I actually developed this thing where I pass out
  170. if I see blood, Um, but I did not realize
  171. that until my first semester in college, when I was
  172. shadowing my sister, who's a dialysis tech, um, so there's
  173. only about 10% of the world's population.
  174. That actually does this.
  175. They pass out when they see blood, and there's no
  176. control over it.
  177. It just kind of happens.
  178. Eso I being one of those 10% realized that nursing
  179. was not a possibility for me anymore.
  180. There's too much blood involved.
  181. Even if I found a job in the nursing field
  182. that didn't involve blood, the schooling definitely would.
  183. So I couldn't do that.
  184. Um, so I actually made something very similar to this.
  185. It's kind of re evaluate my life and decide what
  186. I wanted to change my major, too.
  187. And I looked back and realized that a lot of
  188. the things that I liked about the medical shows that
  189. I washed and just like nursing in general, was more
  190. the science side of it instead of the like hair
  191. side of it.
  192. Well, the healthcare side of it, Um, but I still
  193. wanted to really, like, help people like be a mentor
  194. for people things like that.
  195. So I thought teaching was a perfect combination of both
  196. eso. Then I changed my major to integrated sciences for
  197. education so that I can use my love of teaching
  198. use my love of science to teach students and help
  199. them figure out whatever they want to dio.
  200. Um, so a lot of the books that I've read
  201. recently are all about like different sciences.
  202. So biology, chemistry, physics and anatomy and things about becoming
  203. a teacher, teaching in a diverse society, things like that.
  204. But one of the books I have read recently for
  205. fun is, or, I guess, for enjoyment is the travelers
  206. gift. It's about this guy who travels back in time
  207. and visits different people from different time, different eras and,
  208. like, learns things from them.
  209. And it's all about him learning the seven pillars of
  210. success. I'm some shows I I'm into.
  211. I love comedies, but also like real world optical shows
  212. like New Girl and Baby Daddy.
  213. Um, they're just funny, but also, like have real life
  214. scenarios in them.
  215. I still love the medical shows like New Amsterdam and
  216. Bones and 911 Very High Action, very thrilling, but also
  217. very medical and, like technical in a lot of ways,
  218. um, and then shows like friends and AP Bio.
  219. Just watch it Night Thio, relax like I always dio
  220. like I always have eso movies still really into Disney,
  221. especially now that it collaborated or it bought with Pixar
  222. and Marvel in the National Geographic.
  223. So Disney Plus has all of the movies that I've
  224. always loved watching Um, I watch a lot of Netflix,
  225. So I have two other boys I've loved before.
  226. Um, I saw Netflix and also hits my romantic side.
  227. Um, a simple favor.
  228. It's just a really good thriller movie.
  229. And then I included the call of the Wild because
  230. I just watched this movie a couple months ago.
  231. But also, I read the book in middle school, so
  232. it kind of ties in as, like, a whole throughout
  233. my entire life.
  234. So far, Um, okay, but a lot of reflecting on
  235. a lot of these before this project actually made me
  236. realize that I wanted to be a high school science
  237. teacher. Um, and I think that this project would be
  238. very good to dio in a high school class.
  239. Um, if you found some free time with heavy curriculum
  240. to allow students to figure out like the literacy is
  241. that have shaped them and how they want to apply
  242. that to a future career like kinda.
  243. I had to dio once I was already in college.
  244. But if they could figure this out now, they could
  245. be like, Oh, in elementary school.
  246. I was really into science and middle school was really
  247. into science.
  248. Why not pick a science career or whatever other case
  249. that may be.
  250. But I just think this would be a really good
  251. project to dio for any step for students across the
  252. board to figure out kind of what they want to
  253. do with their lives.
